Republicans like Sens. Lindsey Graham, Jon Kyl and John Cornyn are practically tripping over themselves to jump on the latest “Dumb Way to Solve the Illegal Immigration Problem” bus by suggesting Congress examine the repeal of the 14th Amendment, which deals with the question of becoming a U.S. citizen.

I am thrilled that Congress has taken a major step forward today in passing the Child Nutrition bill – a groundbreaking piece of legislation that will help us provide healthier school meals to children across America and will play an integral role in our efforts to combat childhood obesity.

Back then, you knew better than your elders, but you also knew better than to tell them that. You were smart enough to get away with doing things (you thought) they never learned about. For sure, nobody could touch you in the brains department when you were a kid.

Actor and director Mel Gibson appears to be at it again. This time the issue is not a tirade berating Jews and women in front of police officers. Instead, it’s an outrageous message that was apparently left on his girlfriend’s answering machine and likely was never supposed to come under public scrutiny.

Enough is enough; real American citizens want safeguards against any major incidents, which may affect their way of living, thus drastically reducing their quality of lives. Don’t you get it? We don’t care about your political ambitions, and the plans you may have for your futures when your political careers are over. You will still have to eat, and still help support those in your families needing financial support.

Today, President Obama spoke in Washington, D.C. to discuss the importance of responsible fatherhood and mentoring to build healthy families and communities. At the event, the President announced the next steps in his longstanding agenda on fatherhood and personal responsibility:

On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court issued its historic decision in Brown v. Board of Education, ruling that separate and unequal education violated the Constitution. This was a parting-of-the-Red-Sea moment in the struggle for freedom. The court outlawed segregation. The dream — that we would have one America, one big tent in which all could live — was recognized in law.

A very short food for thought, but one that may be one of my most important in asking about the well being of this nation. You may not agree with this line of thought, but all I ask is that you think about as you watch the angry crowd and ask where in my America?

But it wasn’t all bad. With a sibling in the house, there was always somebody to play with. It pretty much doubled your toys. And best of all, you knew, down-deep, that somebody would always have your back.

One key to any prosperous economy is a transportation system that works — that allows workers to get to their jobs and goods to move efficiently. But this essential economic building block is now under severe pressure.

Today, President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and the White House Council on Women and Girls are hosting the White House Forum on Workplace Flexibility to discuss the importance of creating workplace practices that allow America’s working men and women to meet the demands of their jobs without sacrificing the needs of their families.

Good morning, everybody. This morning, I sent a budget to Congress for the coming year. It’s a budget that reflects the serious challenges facing the country. We’re at war. Our economy has lost 7 million jobs over the last two years. And our government is deeply in debt after what can only be described as a decade of profligacy

President Harry Truman made the “the buck stops here” phrase popular. In his first year, President Barack Obama has invoked that phrase on several occasions, stepping up to take responsibility when his staff or party has messed up.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Hey, folks. A year ago when President Obama established the Middle Class Task Force and asked me to chair it — and I might add, we were only in office I think two days, Melody, when he set up this Middle Class Task Force — because as we campaigned around the country, he made it clear that we were going to be sure that as we grew this economy, the middle class was not left behind as they had been the previous 10 to 12 years. And as we move from recession to recovery, our focus is the middle class.

Today, we pay tribute to a significant figure in the history of our country. Having grown up during segregation, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. refused to accept the notion of an unequal America. He chose not to merely wait and hope for America’s promises of equality and justice to fulfill themselves, and instead dedicated his life to making these promises a reality.

“(T)here is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America — there’s the United States of America.”

Lets face it, it wasn’t that long ago when Blacks had to use different restroom facilities, back entrance to food establishments, denied entry to white schools, was hung or jailed for whistling at white women, denied the right to vote, and subjected to illegal syphilis contamination. Here we have a Black President attempting to introduce Health Care Reform to all Americans, something the Republicans didn’t even mention during their 8 years in power.

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has announced the availability of $27 million to help older individuals with chronic conditions to improve their health and reduce their use of costly medical care.

A winter storm system has hovered over Colorado’s high country for days, dropping plentiful amounts of snow on the state’s ski resorts.

THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. To the United States Corps of Cadets, to the men and women of our Armed Services, and to my fellow Americans: I want to speak to you tonight about our effort in Afghanistan — the nature of our commitment there, the scope of our interests.
